Feel free to contribute one. In the bad old days when we couldn't distinguish explicit from implicit cast functions, I was wary of adding new cast pathways. Too many implicit casts and you have no type system at all. But in 7.3 there should be no reason to object to an explicit-only cast from numeric to text or vice versa. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
